Team Building Training

Are your teams working to their full potential?

This is a crucial determination by an organization’s leadership. Research shows one very effective way to push the production envelop is through team building.

When team members understand the differences in communication styles, thinking approaches and other strengths and weaknesses of their co-workers, they are more likely to respect the value each team member brings to the business.

The objective for leaders is to make sure all team members are included and working to their strengths so that the whole team can truly grow and excel.

Many experts in this area believe the most important outcome to team building is the bigger picture of looking beyond one’s know-how and hierarchy and engendering a set of relationships between equals with different qualities.

Researchers who study the topic show that while there is no such thing as one definition of “team building,” the term should relate to a category of interventions aimed at teams. What these interventions have in common is:

  • Objective: improving a team’s functioning in general, by developing interpersonal relations, clarifying roles or solving existent problems
  • Method: mostly informal team building activities like games and physical exercises, as opposed to sitting in a classroom and discussing a topic
  • Location: usually a different one to where the team works (e.g., in nature, in an events hall)

The challenge for an organization’s leadership is to make sure team building is an effective activity and not just a waste of time.

A few years ago researchers published a meta-analysis based on data from over 1500 teams. The meta-analysis investigated the effects of team building on different aspects of the team. The meta-analysis showed that people who participate in team building feel more positively about their team. This positive feeling is manifested in certain ways such as more trust for their fellow team members, more satisfaction that they’re part of the team, and more confidence that the team will achieve its objectives.

The research also proved that teams that go through team building sessions have better interactions: they communicate, coordinate and manage conflicts better. These processes are key in accomplishing the team’s task.

Additionally, the research showed that some modalities of team building are more effective than others. What seems to make a difference is the aim of the session: Team building activities focused on setting goals or clarifying roles bring the most benefits.

Setting goals refers to defining both individual and team objectives, and planning what actions to take to turn the objectives into reality. Clarifying roles means team members discuss what is and isn’t within their own responsibility and they understand their duties better.
